Angling
John Adamson reports: A run of cold nights preceded the match, and once again anglers were faced with a bitterly cold, gusting and strong NW wind, and although at times the sky promised rain it thankfully remained dry for the duration of the match. Such conditions are not conducive to good sport, and many of the “sell-out field” struggled for bites on what proved to be a hard day.

A message from John Adamson: Our Head Bailiff, Paul Wheeldon, intends to re-open Grange Pond for fishing from Monday 27th November, but will require assistance from members to enable this. He said that the water levels were now dropping nicely, although there is still some way to go before safe access may be gained.
